Final PC Build

[AgnesIO]

Just make sure it's 64bit. All the Vista copies are the same, except for Ultimate which seems useless (even though I use it).

Get Home Premiom of 7. And pre-order it - it's £50 not £80 or whatever.

For a graphics card look for an ATi 4850, 4870 or 4890. Ideally thr 4870 or above. PSU you want a decent branded one. Probably about 500-600W.

Something like one of these:

Don't but a cheap PSU, it's not worth the trouble/risk.

Thanks again Nick!

I must admit I didn't realise PSU's (apart from to power the pc) were THAT important

actually it really wouldn't be 1500

The graphics card I told you was the second most expensive part of my pc, coming after the CPU. And honestly, you have 8gb of ram? :S That is useless for you atm, with your other specs your computer would hardly touch 4gb of ram which imo is a big waste of money, money that could be used upgrading a necessary component.

I wouldn't get 7 just yet, for a new pc anyway has just after you get your OS set up the way you want it you will have to move it all again when 7 actually comes out. I would recommend Vista 64bit Home Premium or higher.

EDIT: o and btw I just remembered, as your using 8 gigs of ram you will need a 64bit operating system otherwise it will only recognise 3.8 gigs of ram tops making your other 4.2 useless and unused to you, even if you got 4 gigs of ram it would not be maximised without a 64bit os.

The reason I chose 8gb is because all the 6gb packages I could find are DDR3 and I think i can only use DDR2? (Correct me if wrong?) Preferably I wanted 6 but I couldn't get a DDR2 package off ebuyer.

I know the bit about 64bit, but yet, as I say I would prefer 6 if possible.

I have just found another monitor.

£50 more but can be used as a TV aswell.

Any thoughts?

(The one I have found is the TOP one)

Yeah, that Samsung is much better.

Okay cheers! (I take it I can use it for a TV aswell?)
